Grillustasi 2016 have arrived!

Do Nuthatches go up tree trunks and Treecreepers down?
Do Jays croak and Jackdaws caw?
Exactly how much blood is there when a Sparrowhawk swoops down on its unsuspecting prey?

There can't be many University campus' where these questions can be so graphically answered by simply walking out of the door. But, happily, the lovely leafy Brampton Road campus that hosts the Institute of the Art is one of them. And, these lovely people (the chosen few) get to study here for their degree in Graphic Design or Illustraion, the lucky Devils!

Meet the class of 2016. Remember their faces. In years to come they will follow in the great Grillust tradition and become the people who's work you want to see, the people you want to read about. 
Welcome one and all!

Cor Blimey! 100,000 Not Out!

It's official. In just two and a half years the Grullist™ Blog has exceeded 100,000 unique page views!

Wherever you are, dear reader, we hope you'll celebrate 'Grillust-style' with a slap-up feed of commemorative crumble and custard.

We've produced a complex information graphic followed by some simple maths to help you understand what a mountainous achievement this actually is...

Given that the average Grillust™ portion of apple crumble is 56.73mm high, a stack (or more correctly, a Crumble Tower) of 100,000 portions would reach 5,673 metres tall.  As the info graphic below clearly shows, this dwarfs the highest thing in Cumbria (Scafell Pike) but falls a little short of Mount Everest.

 The maths is somewhat easier to understand...

Simple!

A resounding 'Well done and Thank You!' to everyone who has visited the Grillust™ Blog. Only 55,717 more page visits for the Crumble Tower to reach the height of Everest.
